Sorry but that just looks terrible, and I noticed none of the fine woven cases look like the pictures on the box. The colors all look super dark and muddy like a Nintendo 64 texture. I can’t believe how terrible these cases look, like a Chinese knockoff or something you get in alibaba website for $1. really shocked apple released this product.Got the blue wallet, it looks cool and fits 4 cards including metal. But I don’t think the material will last or stay clean. Pictures a bit dark but it’s a nice cool blue
I wish, that's a lot nicer. FineWoven is more of a soft cheap suede.
Well I received mine in the mail and held it in my hand and I determined it to be garbage. Is that enough for you?The idea that you can determine a materials durability by eyeballing it.
This website gets more ridiculous by the day…
Unless they changed the program, AppleCare+ won’t cover the case. If you have AC on it they are more prone to help.AC+ might come in handy.
It is worse than any of us could have imagined. It is a product they shouldn't even sell.I’m sure it will hold up as well if not better than the leather because it’s plastic. It is probably also lighter than the leather case which in my book would be a win. Same level of protection only lighter. I guess the video proved me wrong. Shame on Apple.
Sorry for the confusion. I was referring to protecting the phone a little better. I should have been more clear.Unless they changed the program, AppleCare+ won’t cover the case. If you have AC on it they are more prone to help.
You don’t like the feel of it, that speaks nothing to the topic at hand: DurabilityWell I received mine in the mail and held it in my hand and I determined it to be garbage. Is that enough for you?

Yeah. It felt initially like one of those “fabric shower curtains” glued onto some cardboard.This is already posted in the main iPhone 15 case thread, just horrible!
Exactly what I said—the wallets slide right off the plastic case. Garbàge!This is already posted in the main iPhone 15 case thread, just horrible!
This is the MacRumors forums. They take no positivity or statement of goodwill at face value. ESPECIALLY from Apple for some weird reason.They discussed this at the apple event. Maybe all the other comments about profit margins, etc are also true but their stated reason was to move to a more carbon neutral product. And leather is the one product that had the most impact to that. stopping leather bands on the watch moved it to be a fully carbon neutral product. Their stated reason is for carbon neutrality. There are always likely other reasons as well that are not stated.
I have it in Evergreen, will probably keep it but that is a really good description.. it's kinda like felt.Soooo it's felt?
Correction: By eyeballing a picture online of the one somebody else bought.The idea that you can determine a materials durability by eyeballing it.

Nice rant considering you haven't seen/touched the thing in person yet while countless people including myself have posted in this thread and have.Perhaps part of the problem is that Apple has positioned this as the replacement for leather both in marketing and in price. First, you will have the diehard leather heads that will put their hands on it and instantly recoil in horror. Second, you will have people expecting a premium experience that get turned off by the build quality in general. Although......If I was Apple and planning a move from real leather to faux leather I would totally introduce some BS fabric thing in-between so that when I "bring back" the "pleather" everyone rejoices. Imagine the backlash from the purists if Apple had gone straight from real leather to faux.
I still think I am going to give this FineWoven an honest chance.
it's almost criminal Apple asks $69 for such a reall really bad quality case. MindblowingThere’s a YouTube video out now that shows this case getting irreversibly scratched just by fingernails. This will probably go down as the least durable case Apple has ever made.
That's an insult to AliExpress cases.it's almost criminal Apple asks $69 for such a reall really bad quality case. Mindblowing
I bet it will cost Apple an overall ~ $2 per case productionwise
Nope, this is just a B-grade AliExpress case, the FineWoven one from Apple
